just stumbled onto this - what an awesome resto, looks great.

Those wheels are the best.

You going to keep it silver?

Ah the notorious question most likely not but then again won't be differing too much from a silverish tone haha still got a bit to do before the respray I want it to well and truly be the last thing I do

Thanks Preeny and TPR Engineering!

Now the cam can get thrown in, lumpy!

Brief update - dropped the drivers side seat at the upholsterers along with the parcel tray and parcel tray side trims yesterday. Can't wait to get it all back it will pretty much complete the interior besides the boot interior.

In other news went and saw the master Al G to roll the guards nice and flat, and we should see some moar lows during the week as a result. Can honestly say the highlight of my day was getting to see his mk1 in the flesh, as I told Al no matter how many times I see it I could sit there and look and ask about every little detail for hours quite easily! Amazing piece of work by an amazingly skilled man!

Dont go too overboard with the flaring dude. Al's car is otherworldly and all, but i cant get used to the size of his arches...

How flared are you going to go?

..to roll the guards nice and flat, ...

Sounds to me like he's not flaring them, just rolling the lips so they dont scrub on the tyres...

So picked up the drivers seat and parcel shelf etc on Friday headed off to watch dark knight and there goes my expansion tank literally as i parked hahaha

So after watching a killer movie and discovering the Nrma covered me for sh*t all I bypassed it n got home no worries! Picked up a new tank from Matt along with some chrome handles and timing belt for cam on satdy morning.

Got home n figured out it was the radiator fan switch stopping the fan from cooling.

So gotta find me one of those n hopefully all sorted!

Pics!


Love the simple things like the parcel tray that just finish off the interior!

[Jarred]

interior looks pretty mickey mate!

Dom, all looks to be progressing well, the Scirocco 1 at Dursley scrapyard had already had the doors removed, along with the whole roof !!

Sorry mate, no trim at this point but will keep asking the rocco 1 peeps stateside.
